Fantasea Cruising deliver Australia’s most personalised experiences on the water. With flexibility to cater for between 2 and 1,200 people, we offer charters in a wide range of vessel sizes, from 16-seater water taxis to large vessels across a range of locations in Sydney. Our fleet operates a number of cruises and ferries on Sydney Harbour, Pittwater, Ettalong and Wagstaffe, including sightseeing, picnic cruises, evening cruises, a direct Taronga Zoo ferry and daily whale watching cruises. Our unique whale watching tours come with an experienced marine biologist on every boat, and a hydrophone to hear the whale song underwater. During whale watching season, we also run additional services out of Palm Beach.

Special events in Sydney are best seen from the harbour, so we offer cruises on Australia Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and during Vivid. Plus, we can organise a private charter for a more personalised experience on occasions like weddings, ash scattering, corporate events and parties, anniversaries and birthday parties.

With no traffic lights in sight, our fleet of water taxis move people around Sydney easily, and our sunset cruises and exclusive picnics on Sydney Harbour are experiences you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re exploring attractions around Sydney Harbour or getting from point A to B, we can help you get there.

Memorable Whale Watching Experience

"It was an absolutely great whale watching experience. We saw a lot of humpback whales and dolphins. Beautiful day. Staffs were very friendly. The boat was large, comfy and clean. It was really enjoyable and I'll definitely come back. :)"

A Lovely Evening Cruise

"Great deal booked online and a really lovely 1 1/2 hrs cruising the harbour. We enjoyed the outdoor deck upstairs, but the inside area was just beautiful for those who preferred to be inside. Staff were lovely and overall experience was terrific. We were blessed with the weather... would highly recommend!"
